Chapter 185: The Manchu Dynasty is in an uproar
The bells and drums in Tianning City are beating as if the sky is falling, which makes people panic. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhen the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty gathered in the Guanghua Hall in a panic, all the people hung their heads and did not dare to speak, and even the fixed items that used to be exchanged in the past were automatically canceled.
The chicken thieves saw that today's atmosphere was different from usual, not only the Jin Wuwei on both sides of Emperor Chongzhen had been replaced by the brocade guards with swords, but there was a row of historians standing behind them. Even outside the main hall, there was a group of imposing brocade-clothed guard officers, holding a court staff and looking at the civil and military officials with malicious intentions. Looking at their arrogant posture, they are going to kill a few people today, and no one wants to bump into the muzzle of Emperor Chongzhen's gun without explanation.
"The Holy One has arrived!"
Wang Chengen pulled the throat of the male duck and broke the silence of the Guanghua Hall in one fell swoop.
Emperor Chongzhen held back a fire in his heart, after the civil and military officials saluted, he had no ink at all, and after standing up from the dragon chair, he said loudly without doubt: "Since I ascended the throne, I have issued more guilty edicts than the previous emperors combined, this is my shame, and it is also a shame for your courtiers!"
The people at the bottom complained, and I repeatedly sent more salaries, forcing them to expose the rod in all directions, and I am ashamed of the world! Why? Because this is clearly robbing the poor and helping the rich!
I announce that from now on, the levy of Liao will be suspended! ”
There was an uproar in the court, all this came too suddenly, and the faces of the civil and military officials were not only shocked but also shocked. According to their respective fronts, they cast urgent eyes on Yang Sichang and Guan Shanyue respectively.
Guan Shanyue coughed to signal Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi to calm down, and then clenched his fists with the cover of his sleeves, quietly reminding them that everything was under control.
Although the two of them didn't understand what was going on, they also took a reassuring pill from Guan Shanyue, although it changed.
Yang Sichang immediately got right, and he immediately realized that things were not so simple, if he didn't charge Liao, where would the money come from, it must be from the supporters behind their group of people, and Emperor Chongzhen must be holding back a big move, which is obviously an appetizer.
At the critical moment, he decided to speak for the landlord class, turned around and scolded Xiong Wencan, signaling him to come out and take the lead.
Xiong Wencan's heart is 10,000 *** rushing by, Yang Sichang, the old horseman, is clearly going to push him into the fire pit, the staff outside the palace gate is especially barb, if Emperor Chongzhen wins the lottery in court, he will have to lie in bed for half a month even if he doesn't die.
Yang Sichang saw that Xiong Wencan didn't want to be a bird, and if he went out directly, he wouldn't even have room to maneuver, so he glared at Xiong Wencan fiercely, and the threat was self-evident.
He followed the cover of his sleeves, gritted his teeth, and whispered to Xiong Wencan: "To be a dog is to have the consciousness of being a dog!" ”
After all, Xiong Wencan relied on Yang Sichang to stand on top of this court, and scolded in his heart: "Yang Sichang, Nima sells horses and criticizes ......"
With no way to retreat, he had to smile bitterly, stood up from the hundred officials, stood in the middle, and said loudly: "Holy Lord, the minister thinks it's inappropriate. After all, we are going to recover the lost territory, and although there are some places where the salary is not received from the imperial court for the time being. But once we go back, doesn't it still belong to the imperial court? ”
The rising stars in Guan Shanyue's row all stood aside with the attitude of watching the play and watched coldly, and none of them agreed.
Yang Sichang's team are all Oscar winners, and when he saw that even his closest followers came out to stand in line, he immediately echoed it, and then talked about it one after another.
Emperor Chongzhen sneered, he was waiting for the first bird, and he was afraid that there would be no objection just now. With a wave of his sleeves, he stared at the court hall that had become a chaotic vegetable market, accumulating the power of the explosion.
When the group of courtiers who were good at observing words and emotions found that Emperor Chongzhen's face was frosty, they chose to shut up in understanding.
Emperor Chongzhen was not angry and arrogant, and snorted coldly, "Noisy, why don't you make noise?" ”
There was a deathly silence in the court, and the officials who were going to take the opportunity to make trouble just now were all silent, all of them looked at their noses and noses, and they all pretended to be tame, and they didn't dare to look at Emperor Chongzhen.
Emperor Chongzhen finally found the reason for his madness, and suddenly said angrily: "This is the court, the court of the Ming Dynasty, what kind of system is it to go to the vegetable market in a chaotic manner?" Yes!? ”
The officials in the court who have ghosts in their hearts are all good at drilling camps, and they immediately judged that Emperor Chongzhen was not good, and if anyone expressed the right opinion today, he would definitely come in vertically and go out horizontally.
Emperor Chongzhen strode straight to Xiong Wencan, pointed at Xiong Wencan's nose, and scolded at the throat: "Xiong Wencan, I ask you, do you know how long Shaanxi and Gansu have been doing it?" You don't know, it's been ten years, it's been ten years! The people have reached the point where they are easy to eat, and half of the people in a county are gone, and the common people are not animals! Whoever collects Liao is a brute! ”
Xiong Wencan fell to his knees with a puff, sweat on his forehead like a waterfall, crawling on the ground trembling with his strands, and said in fear: "The minister is a beast, the minister deserves ten thousand deaths, and the ministers deserve ten thousand deaths!" ”
Emperor Chongzhen snorted coldly, didn't even look at Xiong Wencan, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and said loudly: "Hmph, the Ming Dynasty has been raising people for hundreds of years, and they have raised such things that don't know the suffering of the people. ”
"Huh!? The saint spares his life, the saint spares his life, the saint spares his life...... "Xiong Wencan is not a stupid ×, it is a terrifying court staff, that is, he is lucky to survive the twenty wrenches and not die, but what about bumpy all the way to Shanxi?"
Yang Sichang weighed it again and again, and decided to stand up for Xiong Wencan, slowly walked out of the crowd, lowered his head and said awe-inspiring to Emperor Chongzhen: "Saint, Xiong Wencan is loyal to the country, but he is a little inconsiderate. Please also ask the Holy One to be light! ”
Emperor Chongzhen's face was dark at that time, he had already endured all kinds of difficulties from Yang Sichang, and his whole body exuded an aura that was cold to the bone marrow, and he squinted his eyes and said coldly: "The Son of Heaven is a man of his word, is Yang Shangshu a villain who wants me to rebel?" ”
"Don't dare!" Yang Sichang didn't expect Emperor Chongzhen to give him no face at all, so he had to take off his court clothes, slowly knelt on the ground, and watched as Jinyi Wei pulled Xiong Wencan, who was crying wolf, out of Guanghua Palace.
Seeing that the leaders were all kneeling on the ground, the little shrimp below were even more afraid to speak.
Emperor Chongzhen took out the majesty of the Son of Heaven, looked around the court, and said word by word in an unquestionable tone: "I not only want to exempt the people from the salaries, but also collect taxes from the gentry of the world. In the future, the policy of tax exemption no longer exists! ”
"Huh!?"
"Oh my God!?"
"No, you can't!"
"God, it's going to fall!"
…………
The ministers gasped, this was the cry of their hearts, but none of them dared to express their objections.
Yang Sichang closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and his ten fingers sank into the flesh, he couldn't stop Emperor Chongzhen after all.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at the dejected ministers, and knew what they were thinking without guessing, and the sound shook the house to interrupt everyone's contemplation.
"I'm not just going to shoot at you, I'm also going to shoot at myself. I want you to formulate a set of meticulous policies, and in the future, except for the prince's lifetime, all the royal family will no longer have the imperial court to support them! If they have legs in their right arms, I will allow them to fend for themselves, and I will allow them to participate in the imperial examination!
Also, they want to set an example for the gentry in the world, and take the lead in cooperating with the court to complete the redemption of land!
Whether it is the royal family or the gentry of the world, all those who do not obey will be regarded as rebellion, confiscation of property, and decision-making! ”
Guan Shanyue, who had been silent, stood up from the hundreds of officials in a timely manner and echoed: "The saint is wise, and seeks the blessings of the people of the world for all eternity!" Minister, Guan Shanyue, resolutely support! ”
Xu Guangqi immediately understood what was going on, stood up from the crowd, and echoed loudly: "The saint is wise, not reluctant, small and small, big and big!" Chen, Xu Guangqi, resolutely support! ”
Sun Chengzong was originally from Guan Shanyue's faction, and he followed closely behind him, echoing loudly: "The saint is wise, not broken and not standing!" Minister, Sun Chengzong, resolutely support! ”
Ni Yuanlu was picked up by Emperor Chongzhen, he was a die-hard supporter of Emperor Chongzhen, and he would let go of the opportunity to repay the kindness of his acquaintance, stood up from the crowd, and echoed loudly: "The saint is wise, the country is rich and the people are strong!" Chen, Ni Yuanlu, resolutely support! ”
The four northern provinces, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households all resolutely supported, and the ministers immediately pondered the taste, which was clearly standing in line. If anyone disagrees, losing the official matter is small, and losing his life is beating, and Xiong Wencan, who was beaten to death outside, is an example.
Those officials who came from poor families and sympathized with the toiling masses of the world expressed their support for Emperor Chongzhen.
Although Yang Sichang and others were unwilling, it can be seen that the general trend has gone, and they have to be coerced to welcome them against their will, expressing their support for the stormy reforms set off by Emperor Chongzhen.
Emperor Chongzhen saw that his iron-fisted methods were working, looked at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground and nodded with satisfaction, slowly sat back on the dragon chair, and said loudly: "Reward the imperial meals of hundreds of officials, brainstorm, and order you to come up with a set of feasible countermeasures before dawn tomorrow, and you can go home only after I have agreed." The food king's Lu bears the king's worries, and if there is no decent countermeasure when it is outdated, the staff will be ordered according to the rank from high to bottom. Retreat! ”
